A Patient’s Most Critical Moment. Is Your Hospital Prepared?

The Arizona Healthcare Directives Registry Helps Hospitals Honor End-of-Life Wishes

Imagine a world where frontline heroes in hospitals have real-time access to a patient’s end-of-life wishes. Imagine they have the most accurate and up-to-date information and the ability to deliver the right care at the right time in one of the most critical moments in a person’s life. The Arizona Healthcare Directives Registry (AzHDR.org) is turning this vision into reality.

Operated by Contexture, Arizona’s health information exchange, AzHDR.org was developed in partnership with the leading end-of-life care organizations across the state, including the Arizona Hospital and Healthcare Association (AzHHA).

There’s no cost to join, and the benefits of participating are great. AzHDR is designed to help hospitals:

• Reduce barriers to real-time patient information
• Honor the end-of-life wishes of patients and families
• Improve the hospital experience for patients and families
• Integrate POLST documents
• Ensure quality and safety
• Receive higher Medicaid reimbursements as part of the AHCCCS Differential Adjusted Payment Program
• Transform your organization to compete and succeed in the future
